Aran Sweater

The Aran sweater, an emblem of both the Aran Islands and, indeed, of Ireland itself, is a unique fusion of art and practicality. As it appears today, the Aran sweater first began to emerge in the early part of the twentieth century.

The tradition began long ago for women in the West of Ireland to hand-knit for their fishermen husbands and boyfriends Aran sweaters, with stitch designs often handed down from generation to generation. We provide traditional hand-knit Aran Sweaters and quality Irish knitwear at Murphy of Ireland.

Our hand-loomed Aran sweater will continue to shed water and keep you warm when ordinary sweaters would leave you chilled and soaked.
